I searched the forum and found noting related to AP iPad version.

Is there a way to convert a Mask layer to a Pixel layer with AP on iPad ? I’m looking for something like : Rasterize Mask to Pixel or something alike.

Thanks

You can't Rasterize a mask 'layer'.  If you could, it wouldn't be a mask layer any more, just a pixel layer with black and white shapes on it. You can merge layers with masks, which effectively rasterizes the mask without altering its effect.

What are you actually trying to accomplish, if you can do that?

I would reuse the mask to serve as a clipping layer.

I’m not very familiar with AP/PS. Maybe what I’m trying to accomplish is possible without relying on this technique ?

I know that it would become a pixel layer and not a mask layer anymore. But it would be useful. I think I’m not the only one asking for this feature (I searched the forum). The only answer I found was for AP on desktop and I can’t find a way to reproduce this on AP iPad.

Select the Alpha Channel, right click and select Convert to greyscale image (or something like that).

OK, found the way to convert a Mask layer to a Pixel layer using the Channels studio. It’s just a little bit more tedious than on the Desktop version but it works.

I continue to think that a “Rasterize Mask Layer to Pixel Layer” option would be a a nice addition in a future version.
